BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH @_@ No, this is not dead, and neither am I. I apologize for the lack of...anything, but that'll be changing soon. I plan to have a post up before Saturday, so hopefully we can get this thing moving again soon.

Working on [b]Pokemon White [/b]in an attempt to finish it before B2/W2 comes out. This is likely not going to happen, considering all the grinding I do and that I'm trying to get specific Pokemon before really doing anything in the game (only need a Rufflet at this point). I'm still gonna try, though ._.

The scans have been translated. Details [URL=http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/May_issue_of_CoroCoro_magazine_leaked]here[/URL] due to length. I'm curious about some of the changes to Unova, particularly the craters in Driftveil and the lack of a lighthouse. I'm getting a feeling that a lot of stuff has gone down in the two years since the original games. And there's the ice covering the region, but it hasn't been confirmed if that's just to hide things for now or if it's actually part of the game. I'm also glad that they're finally including some olde

[s]Yay thread resurrection[/s] [center][img]http://pokebeach.com/news/0212/pokemon-black-white-2.gif[/img][/center] Yes, Black 2 and White 2. Not Grey. Not a single, enhanced version, like we've got in past generations. Black [b]2[/b] and White [b]2[/b]. Not many details are known about the game at this time, aside from the two mascots for each version- Black Kyurem and White Kyurem (different forms of Kyurem, in case you couldn't tell). Some new scans have recently surfaced and are apparently legit- behold the [url="http://www.dotup.org/uploda/www.dotup.org2855392.jpg"

Exactly like that, yes. Annnnd posted. GO GO GO EDIT: For those who have characters in school, keep in mind that today(April 6th) is the start of a new school year. YAY JAPANESE SCHOOLS In case you're not sure what to do, just have your character go about their usual routine- go to school/work, the usual. There will be a speech for the first day of school, so keep that in mind. Also, no one has heard about the murders yet, and everyone had the same dream about Philemon (see the Audition thread/Compendium). Yeah, this is going to be a tad complicated at first. And for this reaso

[i]April 6, 2015[/i] [i]Port District[/i] The sun would soon rise over the city of Yokuboshi, signaling the start of a new day. Soon, the streets would explode with people getting off and going to work, and kids going to school. All unaware that there had been several murders during the night. He didn't know how it happened. He had simply been with the gang, hanging out in their usual place, one of the warehouses in the Port. They had been going about their usual routine, loudly making jokes, smoking, popping back a few beers, the usual gang stuff. Then he had fallen asleep...

I might allow weapons eventually. I just feel it would get to chaotic if I did allow it, and I don't want everyone focusing on them and not using their Personas- they're there for a reason, and it's not as a means of last resort protection. The things the characters will be facing wont typically be things they can simply beat down. There's also the fact that the Persona and user are directly connected- if the Persona takes a hit, the user feels it, and vice versa. With that in mind, if a character charged into battle along with their Persona, the two would likely end up getting

Go go Gadget DOUBLE POST! Alright, so I'm thinking of getting this party started on Wednesday. For those who haven't filled out a character sheet yet, I'm not closing sign-ups, so there's no need to rush.

For another general note, there isn't any particular deadline for sign-ups. I'm just waiting until we get a decent number of people so that we can start, and sign-ups will remain open even after the RP itself starts, unless we get a sudden burst of people in and fill up all the slots.

A few things- First off, I don't mind people playing as foreign characters. That's perfectly fine. However, I feel the need to emphasize that this DOES take place in Japan. A few foreigners here and there are okay, but let's try to keep the ratio of Japanese and foreign characters reasonable. Also, [b]ExcelExcel[/b]- I'd like to point out that a 6'7 female weighing 140 lbs is considered to be unhealthily underweight for a 17 year old, and while there ARE people like that, there generally tends to be a reason- drug use, anorexia, etc. Of course, given the nature of

[color=#ff0000]Finished up [b]Persona 4: The Animation[/b] today. Sort of. Apparently, they're releasing a Directors Cut of the 'final' episode and a new episode that will cover the True Ending. BUT ANYWAY. The entire series was pretty good, given that it was a video game adaptation, although it had it's rushed moments. And let's not forget the...er...animation...errors (Defaces, double Chies, etc) It's going to be weird, not having anything to look forward to watching on a weekly basis, at least until Fate/Zero 2 starts. I'm probably going to focus on [b]Tiger a

Edited the opening post and changed the thread title to differentiate between it and the sign-up thread, which is now up. I decided on The Velvet Room because...well, it made the most sense and seemed less generic than 'Backstage' :P Also, the RP now has a name. YAAAAAAAY I don't know why I didn't think of the new people passing through town thing >>;; I guess that's a lot less complicated than going into the dream world and rescuing them a la P4.

There will be a few original Personas, but most of them will be based on demons in the MegaTen universe, maybe with a few modifications to their appearances.

Characters will be no younger than 12. There isn't any particular limit to how much older they can be, so long as it stays reasonable. So if you want to be a high school student, fine. If you want to be an adult, that's okay too. The only way we'll all end up playing high school students is if everyone signs up as them :P Nope, that's it- thanks for the help :D I'll likely update the opening post here with more info soon, and the sign ups should be ready within the next day or so. And of course, if anyone else has any suggestions, I'm all ears. Or eyes, if you w

Hmm. I'll likely have them send them directly to me, yes. Buuut I'll worry about that when I get there- gotta get this thing off the ground, first :P I was actually thinking of having the Personas handle all the fighting, like in the P4 anime. That's always made a bit more sense to me, as compared to the brief appearances they made in the games to cast a spell, then disappearing. The people with Reverse Arcana might carry weapons of some sort, seeing as their Personas will likely only be stable enough to do just that- appear, attack, disappear. As for the other bit, it will b

I'm planning on allowing the players to choose from one of eighteen Arcana (Fool, Judgement/Aeon, and World/Universe not being options). I will then give them their Personas in game, when the time comes. The reasoning behind this: one, I find it to be more realistic, seeing as the characters in the games couldn't just say, "HEY. I want this Persona, kthnxbai". Two, I don't want people running around with all-powerful Personas from the start. Sure, I could reject them, but I don't want to keep having to reject character sheets because they picked a Persona that's w

[list] [*]He will be around, yes. [*]I toyed with the idea of Social Links, but in the end decided not to have them, seeing as they're really only relevent to a Persona user with the Wild Card ability, which none of our characters will have. What I might do is allow a characters' Persona to evolve as the story progresses and they develop. [*]Typographical error The alternative is that the person would manage to repress their desires, which [i]could[/i] potentially awaken their Persona.

[center][i]April 2015[/i] The city of Yokuboshi, often simply called Yoku or Yokubo by its inhabitants, is widely known throughout Japan as one of the most peaceful cities in the country. That is about to change. Recently, Yokuboshi's crime rate has taken a sudden spike. It's not just the occasional theft, either- the crimes all range anywhere from bank robbery to downright murder. These crimes have become increasingly more frequent, and it seems as though no matter what the authorities do, the crimes continue. Possibly the strangest thing of all, however, is whenev
